Guest: Andrea Freidus, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of North Carolina Charlotte In the dead of winter, it’s pretty common to start planning a summer vacation. There are lots of nonprofits and church groups that would love to have you make that trip a volunteer opportunity. You can visit some far off country and experience a new culture while also “doing some good” in the form of digging a well or distributing medicine or doing repairs at an orphanage.
